This Romanian Şarbă -- an intriguing varietal produced in the 1970s by crossing Riesling and the indigenous Tămâioasă Românească -- is very much like a light Gewürztraminer, with pronounced lychee and floral (rose, in particular) notes, but with a cutting, refreshing lemon citrus-mineral streak that almost seems like Greek Assyrtiko, as well as pepper bringing a touch of spice. There's not much in the way of depth or length, and there's a mildly bitter pithy note on the finish, but it's quite tasty overall, the elements holding together nicely, and it's a great value.
